When life gets hard, what happens to your joy? Can you still praise God — even if the pain doesn’t go away?

Real joy isn’t found in comfort, safety, or easy circumstances. Real joy is found in God himself.

“Why does the church have only a marginal impact upon America today? Partly because we take sins of inaction lightly. We build homes, but not the church; make money, but not disciples; win luxuries for earth, but not souls for heaven.” —Greg Morse https://t.co/xzocCbyal4

“The Lord will again take delight in prospering you.” But does God really take joy in blessing us? Today on Solid Joys, John Piper answers that question from Deuteronomy 30:9. God’s mercy operates on a hair trigger — he is eager and quick to bless us.

Tomorrow isn’t promised. But grace is offered to you today.

Don’t keep delaying what your soul most deeply needs. Christ is ready to save, ready to forgive, ready to make you new.
